Couples can wed at stadium
Tuesday 27th November 2007, 11:41AM GMT.
Couples can now marry at Shrewsbury Town’s new stadium after it was granted a licence to stage civil ceremonies.
The licence, issued by Shropshire County Council’s registration service, means that civil wedding, partnership, naming, citizenship and re-affirmation of wedding vow ceremonies can all now be held at the Oteley Road ground.
It joins a list of more than 50 other approved venues across Shropshire, including castles, stately homes, colleges and village halls.
Karen Burton, registration service business manager, said: “We’re delighted to add Shrewsbury Town’s stadium to our long and growing list of approved venues.”
Anyone interested in booking a civil ceremony at the ground should first contact the stadium on 0871 811 8800 to check availability, before then contacting Shropshire Registration Service on 0845 678 9016.

Happy news that weddings can now be held at Shrewsbury Towns new stadium.
Who knows with the atmosphere that will surely loom over the Shrews ground by the end of the season a licence for funerals may be granted as well.
